Watch: Awen Ensemble - Upon Leaving The Dream

Leeds-based septet Awen Ensemble‘s debut album, Cadair Idris, was described by KLOF Mag’s Gareth Thompson as ‘woven from modern jazz repertoires with a mythic folk essence’ and ‘an audacious and promising debut’.

To mark the album’s release day, the band have shared a video made by Eddie Bowes for Upon Leaving The Dream, the album’s final track.

“But all ends well with Upon Leaving the Dream as our narrator wakens to the full swing of life and music, a joyful morning. The sax struts in, Clark sounds delirious, drum skins are whipped, leaving a pristine guitar passage for the coda.”
